Happy Mother's Day!!! :D

Today, Singapore, and most part of the world (check it out, for fun : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day), is celebrating Mother's Day.

My beloved sweet daughter woke up early before me, eagerly planning an elaborate treasure hunt. She wrote hints, leading to a stash of cards kept in the doll house. Later on she sheepishly admitted that the cards were taken back from a box where I keep all cards from the kids. (Of course, I recognized the cards, still. She made the cards with my guidance after all. In true reflection of my gene, she prepared the card since March)


Son? Handed duly his card on Wednesday, just outside his class. And then totally forgot about it. Boyboy... boyboy...

Brought me back to my first mother's day. At 24 years old, I remembered slightly blushing. Still not used to the idea of referring to the innocent baby as mine.

To all new mothers, welcome! Happy first mother's day... I hope this will be unforgettable for you too.


Dear hubby is away, and my daughter just recovered from 5 days of fever. I got a tiny glimpse of being a single parent. To say that I know how does it feel to be single mom is an utmost understatement.

To all single moms, happy mother's day. I admire your determination and strength.


One thing that still strikes me every now and then is a sense of wonder, of how my own Mom raised me up until now (she's still 'growing' me in some aspects up to this very minute). How old-time-mommies managed without hand-phone, is a mystery for me.

To all grandmothers, especially my Mom, happy mother's day. It's truly a special achievement to nurture a girl, a woman, until finally a mother.


(I'm keeping my fingers crossed on my daughter... God helps me that we're doing it right)


Since up to now I know no mother with a perfect-problem-free life, big or small, trivial or seemingly-impossible, here's to you:


May the problem magically, with Help from Above, solve itself. For today, no matter where you are... or how busy is life... or how difficult is the situation... Wish you a special happy mother's day. :)
